With the help of four UWEC Service Learning Students we are brainstorming ways to improve Boyd Park. The best setting for a skateboard park continues to be a linear, L-shaped design that would fit into the south/Main Street edge of the park. This allows the activity to be very visible and easily monitored.

Initial suggestions are to keep the rest of the park green and flexible for every changing uses rather than building in more structured uses; keep it flexible. The park needs to be welcoming, safe, inclusive and creative.

The students will complete their involvement with this project until late April. Their work will be joined with on-going efforts to prioritize features within the park.
